  • austin_pearison the kid (@austin_pearison) reported

  • James_R33d James reed (@James_R33d) reported

    @PlayOverwatch why did you guys ruin overwatch. Overwatch 2 sucks it’s broken and so unenjoyable to play, all you guys want to do is cash out on your fans you don’t care about releasing good games or content anymore everything in the game costs a stupid amount of money

  • TapDanSir TapDanSir (@TapDanSir) reported

    @OverwatchCaval Half the problem with the free stuff is the ui for overwatch 2. The shop. The events the challenges, the battlepass. All have the most boring ui I've ever seen. Not exciting in the slightest.

  • Helramma Nichelle (@Helramma) reported

    is anyone else having problems with #overwatch I can't get a game on console?

  • exghts_ paul, the creator (@exghts_) reported

    is anyone else having a problem with overwatch queues where when it finds a game it just kind of cancels??? bc it’s so annoying 😭

    @Blizzard_Ent why did you guys ruin overwatch. Overwatch 2 sucks it’s broken and so unenjoyable to play, all you guys want to do is cash out on your fans you don’t care about releasing good games or content anymore everything in the game costs a stupid amount of money

  • ConspiracyVinyl VINYLTHEWRITER🏳️‍⚧️✍️🎨 (@ConspiracyVinyl) reported

    The issue with tracers design #Overwatch2 is that its just an over designed mess of lines and colours, and it strips alot of the personality Can barely tell she was part of a flight program, shes lost more of that aero dynamic look, the best part bout the overwatch 2 design is-

  • cai_ow 𝙘𝙖𝙞𝙧𝙤 🏜🦂 (@cai_ow) reported

    @natynecc @EskayOW That’s not exclusively a Overwatch problem though, unfortunately.

  • ImMyFire Myfire (@ImMyFire) reported

    @OW_SVB Gonna put my tin foil hat on for this one, but they're either lagging really hard or someone is trying to train an AI to play overwatch for them. Seems weird that they play like an AI trying to learn with the name Markus, probably a detroit become human reference or something.

  • ainomeaD Daemonia (@ainomeaD) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent FIX OVERWATCH DAMNIT! I was still gold earlier today, why did I go from silver 5 to 1, from gold 5?!

  • PortableScrew Port (@PortableScrew) reported

    @ValorINTEL People need to understand role queue in overwatch was a failure. They was unable to fix GOATS meta so they patched it out of the game, killing all comp varistions with it. It doesnt need to be in val, especially because duelist and initiator can be separated into subclasses

  • EyeOnHellWorld Mr. Fantastic (@EyeOnHellWorld) reported

    @baitedinput Thats actually nice to hear, i thought it would have a bunch of problems and suck but if i had the money i might buy it. Also yeah ive been playing overwatch on the switch and fps games on controllers suck a lot more *** than i remember

  • JigglyOW Cendrillon (@JigglyOW) reported

    @FadeddFps don’t blame you but I posted about this recently that a lot of fps games run into similar problems right now, and apex might get stale for you some time from now and then you are back to overwatch not because they fixed it but because apex was just the same issues

  • bmking69 bmk (@bmking69) reported

    @epthopper Blizzard does not balance their games around the highest skill curves. Hearthstone and Overwatch have had long-term balance issues because of it. No offence to the people who work long shifts, but their philosophy is incompetence.

  • fireredfield 𝙵𝚒𝚛𝚎 (@fireredfield) reported

    OVERWATCH FIX UR ******* VC BUT

  • Bunni3Hana Reese B (@Bunni3Hana) reported

    The wait time is 14+ minutes for comp, idk if this is happening to everyone else on Overwatch but it’s quite annoying, please fix this #Overwatch2

  • NonUnderstTrey1 【Oni】 (@NonUnderstTrey1) reported

    @Qu1ckQu1et @DeadByBHVR I think they know about the issue. But companies tend to get holiday breaks and these days are not exception. Look at what happened to the twitch drops of Overwatch. 2, almost 3 ENTIRE DAYS without them. Excuse? "We were taking holiday break, so we are not working haha!"

  • kyliezbookz kyliez_bookish_things (@kyliezbookz) reported

    @PlayOverwatch I am still unable to connect my playstation stat's with my overwatch account I prefer my playstation as its got all the skins I paid money for what do I do to fix it I can't even contact blizzard cause it doesn't do anything to help..

  • trencherboi258 SANTA TRENCHER🎅 (@trencherboi258) reported

    I’ve officially decided to step down from the Overwatch team for Nova Uprise. I know we haven’t done anything yet due to some roster issues, but I have faith we’ll get things going ASAP. I will continue to oversee and help the OW team until I can find someone to replace me

  • MaduFaaku Madu Fa'aku (@MaduFaaku) reported

    Is anybody else unable to sign in to overwatch right now?

  • ShieldsMCMXCIX Szymon Shields (@ShieldsMCMXCIX) reported

    So I just got kicked due to inactivity even though I was moving. Definitely no bugs in this game or any issues @PlayOverwatch #Overwatch

  • KorvZ_11 Arroein (@KorvZ_11) reported

    I badly want a gaming PC Hi @MrBeast can you buy me a gaming PC, badly want to play Overwatch without lagging, thank you so muchh.

  • DJSmu Smu The DJ/Gaming with Smu (@DJSmu) reported

    @PlayOverwatch @Blizzard_Ent Please fix Overwatch 2's Ranking System. I've won about 21 Matches and am still stuck at Bronze 2. This is ridiculous.

  • seraaphis 𝔇𝔢𝔳𝔦𝔩𝔤𝔦𝔯𝔩 ℭ𝔯𝔶𝔟𝔞𝔟𝔶 (@seraaphis) reported

    ranked system in overwatch 2 is so ******. why am i playing with new accounts who have NO game sense. this is absurd, i thought they were trying to fix the issues but i’ve yet to see any improvement.

  • Ron7785155 Jake (@Ron7785155) reported

    @ModernWarzone Let’s get overwatch 2 back on Tim’s channel since fatty has a problem not doing it

  • ObviousThrower W Avoid (@ObviousThrower) reported

    @overwatchleague Overwatch league drops are still missing I don’t have sojourn skin yet give me that and add back find a group and give me my missing comp rewards and career profile stats and so stop begging for money and fix the game

  • cendriel_ Ginna (@cendriel_) reported

    @ValorINTEL Overwatch started as a non-locking role type of gameplay. It got really bad , everyone started to complaint. so they introduced role lock. It seems that the valorant community doesn’t have any issues at this point so it wouldn’t make sense to bring it to Val

  • XM06Official ~VRTCL XM06 (@XM06Official) reported

    @ValorINTEL And unlike in overwatch I wouldn’t say there’s any insane comps that are completely broken

  • peticuliarbooks cami (@peticuliarbooks) reported
